orwellian } Distributed Citizen Surveillance

Apparently a lot of people read 1984 and thought what they founded there sounded like a pretty good idea:

Boing Boing: Distributed citizen surveillance: Soon-to-be-chosen residents will get access to a a Web site that provides panoramic views of their block, allows them to type in general complaints, pinpoint a problem location, immediately send that information to police headquarters, and simultaneously activate hidden police surveillance cameras, (police director Jose) Cordero said...
“We plan on giving the community control of a very powerful technology,” Cordero said.
“We want to now give them shared virtual control of their community,” Cordero said. “Essentially, when they see something that alarms them, they can go to the Web site, type in information, and hit send.

I just can't wait for something like this to come to my neighborhood. I love having my right to privacy stripped. w00t. ℅
